Since Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite was announced for this year, one of the big questions surrounding the game has been, when exactly in 2017 will the game launch. Sadly, if you were hoping for the game to be with us sooner, you might be in for some bad news Speaking to 4Gamer (via GameRant), Capcom producer Tomoaki Ayano let slip[...]

Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. The series took a big risk with the new season, pushing the Inhumans story line aside and taking of the mystical with Ghost Rider and the Darkhold SHIELD has been very grounded in the beginning, only bringing in science based powers and doing it slowly Then the scab was ripped off with[...]

Remember a few weeks ago as Marvel rolled out a bunch of fireplaces of Marvel heroes? Five different sets of yule log videos that seemed like they would've take a bit of time to do in animation… and these were actually filmed miniatures All the painstakingly crafted items done in tiny scale If you are[...]

Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso may no longer be doing his weekly Axel-in-Charge column at CBR, but he did stop by the Eisner award winning website for an end-of-the-year interview to look back at Marvel's 2016 and forward to 2017 Interviews with comics execs on major websites are always delicate, fluff-oriented affairs, but if you get[...]

Marvel is going to be making episodes of Ultimate Spider-Man vs The Sinister Six available on their Youtube channel and have already posted this Christmas themed episode from last year What's even more interesting is the episode is kind of a take on A Christmas Carol with Spider-Man seeing his past, present and future… but[...]

Marvel's latest TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) breaks down the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider introduced in Engines of Vengeance by Felipe Smith and Tradd Moore We got a version of this in the latest season of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, but oddly enough one of the main characters in the comic run was[...]

No, rather I am talking about the major events that nearly always, in the Marvel tradition, stem from an ideological difference between heroes DC's events don't typically follow this 'ideological differences' formula, so largely don't quite have the same effects on the heroes. Think more like Civil War Avengers vs X-Men Civil War II. So what do[...]

Since we gave away gifts to characters in the DC / TV Universe, it would only be fair to do the same for some of the Marvel television shows What could we get them to make the shows just a little bit better? How about we start off with the Agents of SHIELD. Going to start[...]

By Joe Glass Cover by Jamal Campbell Well now, this is some real holiday cheer! Power Man and Iron Fist: Sweet Christmas, the annual released yesterday from Marvel, by David F Walker, Scott Hepburn and Matt Milla. Without going into spoilers for the book, let me just say that is an absolute delight. I think most would agree that this[...]

This marks a stark departure from the usual Marvel method, which is to announce a bunch of books the marketing department though of along with a super-mega-crossover event, wait a month or two to assign and announce creative teams, and then hope for the best, often resulting in super-mega-crossover events delayed by several months and[...]

Since the DC's Emerald Archer has appeared twice on this list, it seems only fair to have Marvel's bowslinger show up as well And when you are looking for Hawkeye stories, there are few better than Matt Fraction and David Aja's run that kicked off with a trade called My Life As A Weapon. Coming off[...]
